- Emphasized the necessity of halting unjustified Iranian attacks on the property of sister states
Qatar strongly condemned the Iranian attack targeting two oil tankers belonging to the UAE’s ADNOC group as they transited the Strait of Hormuz, denouncing it as a blatant violation of international law and freedom of maritime navigation, and a flagrant breach of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817.
In a statement issued on Friday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated Qatar’s firm rejection of the use of the Strait of Hormuz as a leverage tool, calling for its reopening without conditions. It affirmed that freedom of navigation through this vital waterway is an entrenched principle that admits no compromise, and warned that continued closure of the strait jeopardizes the vital interests of regional countries and the global economy.
